When it comes to choosing which songs to record for an album, Carrie Underwood says that now that she’s on her fourth album — her chart-topping Blown Away collection — it’s gotten easier over time for her to recognize the songs that truly feel as if they’re just right — or just written — for her.

  Carrie Underwood talks about finding songs that are just right for her. (:29)
“It’s important, you know? People know a lot about me now, and I know a lot about myself — more than I did, you know, 10 years ago, or two years ago, or whatever. Being able to hear a song and not imagining anyone else singing that song except me…you know, I’m sure other people would feel the same way, and that’s how you know it’s meant for you is when you hear something, and you’re just like, ‘Yep, that belongs to me. No one else. No one else would sing that.'”
